Episode 318: Misrepresented – Thomas Dolby
Thomas Dolby had a big hit song in 1982 with “She Blinded me with Science.” But true fans know that his work is far more nuanced than that. The conversation includes input from listener Myke Dodge Weiskopf. It’s all part of a weeklong series on artists whose hit song doesn’t do them justice.

One Nada Surf album in particular — 2005’s “The Weight is a Gift” — means a lot to Patrick. And we take a call from listener Justin Steiner. It’s all part of a weeklong series on artists whose hit song doesn’t do them justice.
